Configure Performance Monitoring

This chapter describes the CTC procedures to configure the performance monitoring for various controllers. Performance Monitoring provides a generic mechanism to collect historical and current values .

Understand Performance Monitoring

  • Performance Monitoring (PM) helps service providers to gather performance counter for the system maintenance and troubleshooting. User can retrieve both the current and the historical PM counters.

  • User can collect current 15 minutes and 1 day interval PM counter values for the various controllers. In 15 minutes interval, user can collect 33 buckets (one current bucket and 32 historical buckets) for PM counter values.

  • Each bucket maintains 15 minutes interval PM accumulative counter values. However, for 1 day interval, user can collect two buckets for PM counter values. First bucket shows the latest 24 hour PM counter values and second bucket shows the previous day PM counter values. These PM counter values can be retrieved for the far end and the near end nodes

Procedure to displays the PM parameters of a controller can be performed using following Cisco IOS XR commands:

Understand Threshold Crossing Alerts (TCA)

Thresholds set the acceptable error levels for each PM attribute, when this level is violated TCA shall be reported for respective PM bins.

Every Threshold Crossing Alarms (TCA) that gets generated by the network element must be sent to corresponding the Network Management system (NMS).
